The fox was the last block to finish in the quilt project Forest Friends for Levi.  Now if I can just find an appropriate sashing/border fabric.  It must be a small scale print that goes with sage and of course the rest of the stitchery.  So far I have been looking at ETSY a manufacture called Spoonflower.  Will wait to look through others including my first Rosie's day of 2025 on the third.  Excited it is all stitched and a little bit sad.  Next up will be to finish the stitchery started by my grandmother Alice.  I will be working on this project on the plane to my parents home.

I did pick this fabric up to use in the microwave popcorn bags mom and I will be making.  I already have the popcorn fabric and instructions ready to go.  Isn't this a fun fabric of a little bit of everything?  It will be the bag liner/outside band.

Since I have nothing to stitch, this 2024 Jolly Box project was cut out.  I have the blocks ready for my trip too.  There will be plenty of time to cut the sashing and border when I get home.

Need to get myself together for a busy Monday.  Indulge yourself if you can with a few minutes in your sewing room =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, December 22, 2024

Beaver done and now stitching the last block a fox.

I'm further along than this photo shows.  I have the head and much of the dark brown outlining done along with the nose and eyes.  I'll work on another photo on my Design Wall post tomorrow.

This past Friday was a Rosie's day.  Not many quilters showed up; such a busy time right before Christmas.  I needed some more aqua to accomplish Part 5 of Krakow (Old Town).  I loved the blue star fabric; thinking it would work well with Indigo Way (it didn't).  The popcorn fabric is for a project that mom and I will be working on during my visit.  

Part 5 of Krakow is finished.  I found it funny that both mysteries had a square in a square being made in Part 5.  The difference is the size of the block and Krakow had a bit more cutting of 2 1/2 inch red and neutral squares.

Part 5 of Indigo Way is finished too.  You may think I'm missing some corners, but I'm following the instructions.  Some units are full square in a square, about half as many are on three corners, and then a few with just two corners.  I'm making only half the project size still.

So there is a small change in the stats this week.  Nothing can be claimed as used (regardless notice that number WOW).  This might be the stats that I end with this year.  I don't have anything going except stitchery and the two mysteries.  Maybe it's time I cut up a new project =^.^=

Used this week: 0 yards 
Used YTD: 268.75 yards 
Purchased this week: 3.5 yards
Purchased YTD: 142.75 yards
Net used in 2024: 126 yards

 Part 4 is complete for Krakow.  Like the melon colors.

Part 4 is complete for Indigo Way.  Got to really get to thinking about a name for this project.  Looking very patriotic in this part.

Also finished Sunshine December BOM.  It will be ready when the time comes.  Thanks Jean for a cute project.  I know it took some time to cut each of the paper foundations, but it will make the turned in blocks more true to size.  Really liked the background you provided.  Hope you have more for the winner.

If I don't start putting the parts of the mystery projects together soon I will need more clips!  Celebrate...it is Hump Day =^.^=
